JD EDWARDS & GRAVEN

FRIENDS, FEARS AND PRAIRIE FIRES TOUR

After losing touch for over a decade, old friends and musicians JD Edwards of Winnipeg, Manitoba and Matt McKechnie (Graven) of Port Hope, Ontario were randomly and mystically re-connected. JD has been a furious soul-poet workhorse of the Winnipeg folk scene for years and has shared the stage with the likes of The New Meanies, The Weakerthans, JP Hoe and many more. With a wailing voice that stirs up dust from the heart of the hardest working man, JD is never afraid to play his guts out to room of 5 or 500. Having gained his first taste in shoegazer anthem rock from some early millenial jaunts to Halifax and recordings with his friend & producer Charles Austin (producer of Joel Plaskett, Matt Mays, Buck 65), Matt McKechnie has honed the Graven sound many times over and is not afraid to tread over new musical terrain. Having played live with Dave Marsh (Joel Plaskett's drummer), The Wooden Sky and Kirk Comstock (Madhat, Air Traffic Control), Matt has earned college radio and CBC respect from a unique voice and a sonic range of country, folk and a self-described cottage rock sound. Also teaming up with the two man train for a chunk of the BC leg of the tour is rising folk queen Trish Jamieson (http://myspace.com/trishjamieson) - Oddly enough, Trish also just happens to be another old friend of both of the lads whom they had also lost touch with for over a decade.
